Biophan CEO Discusses Biomedical Device Breakthroughs with Medical Design Technology Magazine Available Online

CEO Michael Weiner Interviewed with Other Medical Device Industry Leaders



ROCHESTER, NY----November 1, 2005 -- Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: BIPH; FWB: BTN), a developer of next-generation medical technology, announced that CEO Michael Weiner discussed the Company’s proprietary solutions for the multi-billion-dollar medical device industry in an interview with industry magazine “Medical Design Technology.” The full text of the interview, which includes comments from several leaders in the medical device industry, can be read online by visiting http://www.biophan.com/newsroom.php and clicking on the article, “Key Trends and Issues.”

In a special feature titled, “Key Trends and Issues,” in the magazine’s View from the Top article series, Mr. Weiner and other selected business and technology leaders offer insights about important trends and innovations in the medical device industry. They discussed recent advancements in the industry, the latest techniques in manufacturing, anticipated growth sectors, and technologies with the greatest growth potential in the next five years.

Mr. Weiner discussed areas in which Biophan is developing innovations, including the Company’s proprietary MRI-enabling technologies for pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, stents, vena cava filters, catheters, guidewires, drug pumps and other devices.

“The ability to make medical devices both safe and image-compatible with MRI is beginning to alter the way devices are being designed for future manufacturing,” Mr. Weiner says in the article. “This is a wide swath of the medical device landscape from neurological devices that can now allow functional MRI of post-procedure patients to MRI-safe pacemakers, defibrillators, and neurostimulators, as well as image compatible stents and vena cava filters that can be diagnosed for in-stent restenosis or thrombosis non-invasively using via MRI.”

In addition to Mr. Weiner, other experts interviewed include Bruce Barclay, president and CEO of SurModics Inc. (NASDAQ: SRDX); George W. Blank, president of The MedTech Group Inc.; Ron Earle, recently retired group senior vice president of B. Braun Medical Inc.’s OEM/Industrial Division; Suchit Jain, vice president of analysis products at SolidWorks Corp.; Kay Phillips, president of ATEK Medical Manufacturing; and FDA’s CDRH Director Dr. Dan Schultz, who shares his thoughts on key challenges for his agency.
